Is anyone out there (besided CMU) who has implemented a split queue approach
to delivering email? What I am talking about is this:
1) You have the default sendmail server in queue-only delivery mode.
Any messages coming to the server are simply queued and that is it.
2) You have a cron job that moves messages out of the mail queue and
into a slow queue if the messages are older than some age limit.
You then process the rest of the messages with "sendmail -q". The
cron job probably runs often, maybe once every 2 minutes or so.
3) You have another cron job that processes the slow mail queue with
"sendmail -q" considerably less often, maybe once an hour or once
every 2 hours.
Is anyone running a similar process? We are curious what experiences
others might have had using this setup.
Thanks,
Scott
